Taylor set to return

Swansea defender Neil Taylor will be involved for the first time this season in the EFL Cup tie at Peterborough.

Taylor had an extended break after Wales reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016 last month and will feature in a much-changed side, which could see Ki Sung-yueng, Jefferson Montero, Angel Rangel and Nathan Dyer make their first starts of the season.

Former Ajax defender Mike van der Hoorn is in line for his debut, but striker Borja Baston misses out again as Swansea’s record signing nurses a leg injury.

Boss Francesco Guidolin will rotate his squad against their League One opponents, but he feels Swansea are capable of competing on both league and cup fronts this season.

“I think my squad is strong enough if we don’t have injuries,” said Guidolin. “We can be focused on the Premier League and the cup.”

Guidolin has yet to take charge of a cup tie in England as he was appointed in January following Swansea’s shock FA Cup exit at Oxford.
